GAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 310,388, dated January 6, 1885.

A pplieation tiled July 30, 1581. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL K. DEALY, of Brandon, in the Province of Manitoba and Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and Improved Game, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and novel game apparatus which is simple in construction and affords very much amusement.

The invention consists in the combination, with a plate or disk having recesses in its npper surface, of a standard in the top of which a lever is pivoted on one end of which a cup is formed.

The invention also consists in the combination,with the disk or plate, of a chute or guard surrounding it.

The invention also consists in parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully set forth hereinafter.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this speciiication, l

in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding` parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a plan view of my improved game apparatus. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal elevation of the same, parts being broken out and others shown in section on the line .fr :0, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a side view of the mallet or bat. Fig. 4 is a'plan view of the ball-box. Fig. 5 is a face view of the tally-board.

. The circular or other disk or plate, A, is provided in its top with a recess, and in the bottom of the recess a series of recesses or apertures, B, are formed, adapted to receive balls or marbles. An annular groove, C, is formed in the upper surface of the disk around the central recess. The disk A is surrounded by a ring, D, having upwardly-projecting jaws D, to which a guard or chute, E, made of fabric, leather, or other suitable material, is pivoted, the said guard having a frame or bow the ends of which are pivoted to the jaws D. The bottom edge of the guard is held between the disk A and the ring D. The chute or guard is drawn and held taut by means of a cord, wire, or spring, E. The disk or plate A rests upon the base-board F, provided with graduations a. The plate A is adapted to slide on the board F, on which it is held by clips G or other suitable devices. A hollow4 standard, II, is formed on a plate, J, having one end pivoted to the board F, and the other end is provided with a clamping screw, K, passed through a segmental slot, L. in a plate, L, on the end of the board F. A standard or upright, M, fitting in the hollow standard can be locked in place at any desired elevation by means of a screw, N, in the hollow standard I-I. A shaft, O, is journaled in two upwardlyprojecting lugs or jaws, I), of the standard M, and on the said shaft a lever, Q, is secured, which has a cup, R, formed on one end. A ring, S, is held on4 the standard M by a screw, S', and is provided with an upwardly-projecting arm, T, adapted to support the cup R of the leverQ. The bat U is provided with a head or covering, UQ of felt or like material. The marbles or pellets m are placed into a cup, V, until they are used. The tally-board XV has one tally-column of two rows for each player, and between these tally-columns a third column is arranged forrecording the games won by each player. The recesses B in the disk A are numbered. The player places a marble or pellet, m, in the cup B of the lever Q, the said cup resting on the arm T. Vith the bat U a blow is delivered on that end of the lever Q opposite the one provided with the cup. Thereby the cup is thrown upward suddenly and forcibly and the marble or pellet in the same is thrown toward the disk A. If it drops.

into a recess, B, it counts as much as the said recess is numbered. If it strikes the guard or chute E,it rolls down the sameinto the groove C, which prevents it from rolling on the board A. The disk or plateA can be adjusted a greater or less distance from the standard or upright on which the lever is pivoted. The standard on which the lever Q, is pivoted can vbe moved toward lthe right or left and locked in position.

Thegame apparatus can be folded very com-V paetly when not in use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. In a game apparatus, the combination, with a base-board, of a disk or plate resting on the board and provided in its top with a series of apertures, a standard held on the board, and of a lever pivoted on the standard IOO and having a cup formed on one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. In a game apparatus, the combination., with the base-board F, of the disk A, held to slide on the board F, and' provided in its upper surface with a series of recesses or apertures, a vertically and laterally adjustable standard on the board,and a lever pivoted on the top of the standard and having a cup formed on one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

3. In a game apparatus, the combination, with the base-board F, of the recessed plate or disk A, resting on the board F, the guard or,chute E on the disk A, a standard on the base-board, and a lever pivoted on the standard and provided with a cup at one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

4. In a gaine apparatus, the combination, with the base-board F, of the recessed disk A, having a circular groove in its top, the folding guard or chute E on the disk A, a standard on the board F, and a lever pivoted on the standard and having a cup on one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

5. In a game apparatus, the combination, with the base-board F, of the disk A, the hollow standard H, held laterally adjustable on the base-board, the standard l\fl,and the lever Q,pivoted on the top of the same and provided with a cup, R, at one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

6. In a game apparatus, the combination, with the plate or disk A, of a standard held on a plate, J, pivoted on one end on the baseplate and provided at its opposite end with a screw, K, passed through a segmental slot, L', in a plate, L, and the lever Q, pivoted on thc standard, substantially as herein shown and described.

7. In a game apparatus, the combination, with the base-board F, ofthe plate or disk A, the hollowr standard H, the vcrtieally-adj ustable standard M in the same, the ring S, held vertically adjustable on the standard M, and provided wit-h an arm, T, and of the lever Q, pivoted on the standard l\I,and provided with a cup, It, at one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

S. In a game apparatus, the combination, with a disk or plate having apertures or recesses in its top, of a standard, and a lever pivoted in the top ofthe standard, which lever is provided with a cup on one end, substantially as herein shown and described.

9. In a game apparatus, the combination, with the disk or plate A, provided with apertures or recesses in its top, of the guard or chute E, held on the said disk, substantially as herein s'hown and described.

l0. In a game apparatus, the combination, with the disk `or plate A, provided with recesses or apertures in its top, of the ring D, surrounding the disk A, and having jaws D', and ofthe chute or guard E, pivoted to the jaws D, substantially as herein shown and described.
